In this chapter the numerical prediction of wind loads on buildings as a branch of Computational Wind Engineering (CWE) is introduced. First the different simulation approaches are described with their corresponding basic equations and the necessary turbulence models. The numerical solution of the systems of equations is sketched and the most important aspects and their influence on the computational results are highlighted.
